The US backed Euromaidan regime has stepped up its ethnic cleansing of Ukraine with a new de-Russification law enacted under the guise of de-colonization. Russianism will be wiped from every building, every sign, every monument, every street and every city in Ukraine.
The law recognizes, "Russian imperial policy as criminal and condemns it, prohibiting its propaganda and symbolism." In accordance with this law, monuments that commemorate Soviet victory over fascism would be considered "Russian propaganda" and destroyed. euromaidanpress.com/2023/04/23/ukr…
Fears about "Russkiy Mir" echo the same xenophobic rubbish German Nazis used in their propaganda against "Cultural Bolshevism", which led to ethnic cleansing and the mass murder of Bolsheviks, Jews, nomadic cultures, and their sympathizers in WW2... aka, the Holocaust.
Hannah Arendt once pointed out that the murders escalated when the Nazis realized they would lose the war. They did it in a final attempt to help carry out the final solution to rid Europe of as many Bolshevik remnants as they could before officially giving up the military cause.
The closer the Euromaidan gets to losing the Russo-Ukrainian war, the more terrified I am for the people of Ukraine. I can't help but wonder about what is happening to "collaborators" of the Russkiy Mir who are being rounded up.
In their own words, the Euromaidan regime is "hunting them down and shooting them like pigs". web.archive.org/web/2023020414…
Fears about the Russkiy Mir are foundational to persecution of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (successor to the Russian Orthodox Church in Ukraine), who believe that descendants of the Rus have a special role to play in defending the world against evil. cfg.polis.cam.ac.uk/commentary/con…
Imperial Russia (which no longer exists) used the concept of Russkiy Mir to legitimize their empire. The modern Russian Orthodox Church uses the Soviet role in defeating fascism in WW2 as an example of the Russian people's special role in the world.
Anti-Russianists like to claim that modern day Russia has weaponized this concept to justify modern day Russia's supposed imperialistic goals. As evidence that they do, they like to point out that Putin created an organization to promote "Russkiy Mir". uacrisis.org/en/russkiy-mir…
The Russkiy Mir Foundation is a cultural outreach program. In this Euromaidanist's own words, it is meant to promote Russian culture throughout the world and maintain ties between Russia and the Russian diaspora. uacrisis.org/en/russkiy-mir…
The UCMC (founded in 2014 w/ a stated mission to wage "information war" to help the Euromaidan regime gain favor in the West) presents this cultural outreach program as a threat to Western society, appealing to Cold War mentality and deep seated fears about the USSR.
Can and do Ukrainian Nationalists make a distinction between the *idea* of Russkiy Mir and Russian *people*? Where will the line be drawn between eliminating the Russkiy Mir, as an idea, and exterminating Russian people?
Criminalizing Russianisms, criminalizes *being* Russian. The horror of such a thing would be obvious if they criminalized Jewishness. And since Russianisms are viewed as an act of violence and treason against the Ukrainian state... how do y'all think this will play out?
Some think this is not an atrocious thing... that all Ukrainian Russians have to do is stop being Russian and Ukrainize themselves. The Nazis said similar things when the set out to Germanize Eastern Europe. But what happened to people who couldn't be assimilated?
The Western Crusade to purge East Europe of Easternisms, in defense of Western civilization, has ancient roots. digitalcommons.wou.edu/his/273/
Side Note: It is fascinating to me, from an academic standpoint, that while modern day Critical Race Theorists recognize the Western Crusades and German Nazism as products of White Supremacy, they've ended up siding with a continuation of those causes...
... and all because Ukrainian Nationalists and their PsyOps have convinced them that the Russians are stoking white supremacy in America.
Especially fascinating since, when the CIA conducted an investigation to learn if Russia was training radical white supremacist groups for terrorism in America, they discovered those white supremacists were actually being trained by Ukrainian Nationalists. news.yahoo.com/us-intelligenc…
"Decolonization" is #NewSpeak for "ethnic cleansing". Maybe you think it's justified, but it's still ethnic cleansing. If you want to argue it's justified, go ahead & try. Keep in mind that Jews & Greeks have lived in East Ukraine longer than anyone else.
When I say, go ahead and try to justify Ukraine's ethnic cleansing campaign, I mean it. Let's see if you can do it without sounding like a Blood-and-Soil Nazi or using rhetoric Ukrainian Nationalists used to provoke and justify carrying out the Holocaust. I'm curious if you can.
What is your malfunction? You call Russians Nazis, but here you are, cheering on ethnic cleansing.
The majority of people from defacto Rus Fed Ukrainian territories supported joining the Russian Federation. What happens to these people if Ukraine is allowed to retake these territories?
The article doesn't even actually explain how helping the Euromaidan win secures "freedom". Rather, it dishes out Crimean Tatar Nationalist propaganda which ignores that Jews and Greeks were in Crimea first, and why Stalin deported Tatar Nationalists...
Stalin deported the Tatars as part of his effort to disrupt Nationalist movements, which had contributed to the mass murder of Crimean Jews & Roma during WW2. All of Stalin's mass deportation efforts after WW2 was about disrupting blood-and-soil movements. ushmm.org/m/pdfs/2013050…
Russia will only "take Ukraine" if that's what needs to happen to secure Donbass and Crimea. If you really wanted to stop them from "taking Ukraine" you can, by letting Russia have the part that has already said they *want* to be part of Russia.
Since the days of the Russian empire, the Muscovites have only extended their borders to protect people. If you want to stop Russian expansion, stop making it so people need their protection.
What "new world order"? Russia's "new world order" aka a "multi-polar world" is what the post ww2 order was *supposed* *to* be.
You didn't ask me this question, but I'll answer it anyway since you're asking it in my threads... I'm totally cool with UN nations using military force as a last resort to enforce R2P. Unfortunately, the R2P examples you give (Serbia and Iraq) were based on lies.
If Russia's allegations against Ukraine are true (they are), there are only 2 questions that need to be answered: Did they exhaust peaceful measures before launching their SMO, and is their military campaign carried out in a way that is necessary to deflect the Ukrainian threat.
Why are you so eager to drag the US into the fight and start WW3? You claim you're not a warmonger and that you want peace, but how often have blockades actually led a country to surrender and not exacerbated and widened wars?
"What is your policy solution?" What's yours, McFaul? These sanctions were a mistake that will inevitably lead to WW3, and it's largely your fault. How does the US get out of it without looking like fools? You really put America in a pickle.
Answering my own question: "How does the US get out of it without looking like fools?" *If* the Blob wants out of this mess they're likely to try the old standby: Scapegoating. I wonder who it would be? Note that scapegoats are rarely the ones who are actually guilty of anything.
I am not Ukrainian, I don't owe the Ukrainian state an ounce of loyalty, & US leaders have failed to provide a convincing argument about how the war in Ukraine is a US national security concern. Defending Western civilization ain't cutting it... sounds like Nazi bullshit to me.
I've said this before. It looks to me like the main purpose of NAFO is to use LULZ to indoctrinate people with Nazi ideology. Congratulations, you have been Nazified.
To the pro-Euromaidan folks replying to this thread: The arguments you're making about how helping Ukraine is a US national security interest are not convincing. Do y'all have a point that isn't drawn from Nazi ideology?
Hearst was the only one who took Mr Jones seriously, and he was a Nazi sympathizer, just like Gareth Jones was. gregmitch.medium.com/when-w-r-hears…
Jones was enamored by Hitler, described Hitler as someone who was charismatic despite his boyish innocent demeanor, and he marveled at the efficiency of the Nazi machine. His defenders today say he was just being diplomatic. journalism-history.org/2022/06/13/gam…
Jones' family is furious w/ the film written by Andrea Chalupa, which they say is full of lies. I recently watched it and noticed that "Ukrainian State Film Agency" is listed as a producer. The film is literally Ukrainian state propaganda. dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7…
